Update: This problem has been resolved, thanks to all who responded, I appreciate it. The speakers were passive and needed power. I thought I could use the 'direct in' that is on the M.B. and power them that way. We ended up getting a power amp. Simple solution to a simple problem...uuugggh!

Also, his wife is able to hear sound when she plays her games....you can sleep now.
